Most Forgotten

Bank documents and records: You might need money immediately in your new hometown, so find out if there is a branch of your bank located there or open a new account all together. Discuss the best way to take your money along with you, cancel all payments, retrieve all important bank documents like passbook, check book, and credit/debit cards and empty your safe deposit box.

Personal records and documents: Identity records, medical and insurance records, health and other official information is critical to you and your family’s well-being, so make sure to pack them along and keep them handy during travel.

Address Book: Most people make the mistake of not keeping important contact numbers on them while leaving, like the people you need to contact in case of emergencies, family and friends, and also your movers to track your shipment.

Your new address and additional information needed: Make sure you have written down your exact new address, complete with landmarks and additional info required. It will be needed during forwarding mails, couriers, any outstanding bills etc., and you might even need it during travel or after arriving at your destination.

Items from tailors and cleaners: Make sure you collect clothes from dry cleaners and tailors, watches and shoes from watch and shoe repair shops, items stored elsewhere, loaned items such as money, library books and movie rentals, and return borrowed items too.
